"BLOOD RUNS COLD" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

Sometimes your blood runs cold
at the sight before you
You may be bold
spitting out what’s true

Pent-up anger inside
ready to flare up
Too tired to hide
about to erupt

But no, stay this calm, this way
Logic reasons: “Think three steps ahead.”
There’s still another day
to let yourself get mad

Blood still runs cold
from so much to hold
Sickness amount
as it brings your spirit down

Too much ugliness
You’ve grown restless
How to make peace
with all in pieces?

Let your blood run cold
that your rage stays locked
It’s a detachment process
to avoid feeling all the hurt
